It should be MF which dealers love to mark up and mess around with. Residuals are non neg.

[edit] unless you meant the varying residuals month to month but did it fluctuate that much in a one year? Besides low residual is only good if you plan on buy out which leasing shouldn't really be used, variables dependent.
